ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties Regarding the Seller
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as
follows:
Section 2.1. Authorization. The Seller has the capacity to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. The Seller is
under no impairment or other disability, legal, physical, mental or otherwise,
that would preclude or limit the ability of such Seller to perform his
obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of the Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors' rights and to general equity principles.
Section 2.2. Non-contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the performance by the Seller of his obligations hereunder
will (i) violate or result in a breach (with or without the lapse of time, the
giving of notice or both) of or constitute a default under (A) any contract,
agreement, commitment, indenture, mortgage, lease, pledge, note, license, permit
or other instrument or obligation, other than Section 2.3 of the Stockholders
Agreement, dated as of July 29, 1997 (the "Stockholders Agreement"), among the
Seller, the Company and the other parties thereto, or (B) any judgment, order,
decree, law, rule or regulation or other restriction of any national, federal,
state, provincial, county, municipal or local government, foreign or domestic,
or the government of any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or any
entity, authority, agency, ministry or other similar body exercising executive,
legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative authority or functions of or
pertaining to government, including any authority or other quasi-governmental
entity established to perform any of such functions (each, a "Governmental
Authority"), in each case to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller
is bound or to which any of his assets or properties are subject, or (ii) result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim, charge, mortgage, pledge,
security interest, equity, restriction or other encumbrance (collectively,
"Encumbrances") on the Brand Shares.
Section 2.3. No Consents. Except for compliance with the provisions of
Section 2.3 of the Stockholders Agreement, no notice to, filing with, or
authorization, registration, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority
or other individual, partnership, corporation, joint stock company,
unincorporated organization or association, trust or joint venture, or a
governmental agency or political subdivision thereof (each, a "Person") is
necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Seller. The approval
set forth in Section 5.1 hereof is sufficient to authorize the sale of the Brand
Shares pursuant to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement.
Section 2.4. Ownership of the Shares. The Seller owns the Brand Shares
beneficially and of record, free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than
Encumbrances created pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and
those arising under applicable federal and state securities laws. Except for the
Stockholders Agreement, there are no voting trust arrangements, shareholder
agreements or other agreements (i) granting any option, warrant or right of
first refusal with respect to the Brand Shares to any Person, (ii) restricting
the right of the Seller to sell the Brand Shares to the Purchasers, or (iii)
restricting any other right of the Seller with respect to the Brand Shares.
Subject to compliance with Section 2.3 of the Stockholders Agreement, the Seller
has the absolute and unrestricted right, power and capacity to sell, assign and
transfer the Brand Shares to the Purchasers free and clear of any Encumbrances
(except for Encumbrances created pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and
those arising under applicable federal and state securities laws). Upon delivery
to the Purchasers of the certificates representing the Brand Shares in exchange
for the Purchase Price, the Purchasers will acquire good, valid and marketable
title to the Brand Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances created by the
Seller.
Section 2.5. Brokers. No Person is or will be entitled to a broker's,
finder's, investment banker's, financial adviser's or similar fee from the
Seller in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties Regarding the Purchasers
The Purchasers hereby, severally and not jointly, represent and
warrant to the Seller as follows:
Section 3.1. Organization. Each Purchaser that is not an individual is
either a corporation, limited liability company, general partnership or limited
partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
Section 3.2. Authorization. Each Purchaser that is not an individual
has the power and authority (corporate, limited liability company, partnership
and other) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder, all of which have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate,
limited liability company or partnership action. Each Purchaser that is an
individual has the capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform
his or her obligations hereunder. Each such individual Purchaser is under no
impairment or other disability, legal, physical, mental or otherwise, that would
preclude or limit the ability of such Purchaser to perform his or her
obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by each Purchaser and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance
with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.
Section 3.3. Access to Information. The Purchasers have received all
information regarding the Company that they deemed necessary or advisable to
evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the Brand Shares. In addition,
the Purchasers and their respective purchaser representatives, if any, have had
an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Seller and
representatives of the Company concerning the business of the Company, its
condition and prospects (financial and other) and the terms and conditions of
the offering of the Brand Shares.
Section 3.4. Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an "Accredited
Investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of the rules and regulations of
the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act. No Purchaser was formed for
the purpose of investing in the Brand Shares.
Section 3.5. Investment Intent. (a) Each Purchaser is acquiring the
Brand Shares to be purchased for it for its own account for investment only and
not for or with a view to resale or distribution (except for the disposition by
certain of the Purchasers of up to 200,000 of the Brand Shares to certain
executive officers and directors of the Company). Except as described in the
prior sentence, no Purchaser has entered into any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such
person or anyone else the Brand Shares and no Purchaser has any present plans or
intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement.
(b) Each Purchaser has the financial ability to bear the economic risk
of losing its entire investment in the Brand Shares, is prepared to bear the
economic risk of its investment therein for an indefinite time and can afford to
sustain a complete loss of its investment therein.
(c) The overall commitment of each Purchaser to investments which are
not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth, and an
investment in the Brand Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive. Each Purchaser's need for diversification in its investment portfolio
will not be impaired by an investment in the Brand Shares.
(d) Each Purchaser has adequate means of satisfying its short term
needs for cash and has no present need for liquidity which would require it to
sell its Brand Shares or any interest therein.
(e) Each Purchaser has substantial experience in making investment
decisions of this type and/or is relying on its own advisors in making this
investment decision and, therefore, either alone or together with its advisors,
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Brand Shares.
(f) Each Purchaser understands that the Brand Shares constitute
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, and that none of the Brand Shares, or any interest therein, may
be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities
Act, and understands the meaning and effect of such restriction.
(g) Each Purchaser has considered and, to the extent such Purchaser
believed such discussion was necessary, discussed with its professional legal,
tax and financial advisers the suitability of an investment in the Brand Shares
for such Purchaser's particular tax and financial situation and each Purchaser
has determined that the Brand Shares are a suitable investment for it.
(H) EACH PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE BRAND SHARES
BEING PURCHASED BY IT INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S HISTORY OF LOSSES, RISKS RELATING TO
THE RECENT CHANGE IN THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS FOCUS, RISKS RELATING TO THE
COMPANY'S DEPENDENCE UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MARKETS OF UNCERTAIN SIZE AND
GROWTH PROSPECTS, THE COMPANY'S DEFAULTS UNDER SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF ITS
INDEBTEDNESS AND OUTSTANDING PREFERRED STOCK, THE COMPANY'S CONTINUING NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, THE COMPANY'S NEED FOR LIQUIDITY, THE EFFECTS OF
COMPETITION, THE COMPANY'S RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL, THE COMPANY'S DEPENDENCE
ON TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION, THE EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION
OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE
SECURITIES, THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS OF THE DEBENTURES, POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE COMPANY AND THE
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY, AND RISKS RELATING TO THE SUCCESSFUL
EXECUTION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND OPERATING STRATEGY.
Section 3.6. Financial Resources. Each Purchaser has cash or credit
facilities presently available to meet all of its payment obligations hereunder.
Section 3.7. Brokers. No person is or will be entitled to a broker's,
finder's, investment banker's, financial adviser's or similar fee from any
Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE IV
Survival, Amendment and Waiver
Section 4.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any certificate
delivered in connection herewith shall survive the sale of the Brand Shares as
contemplated hereby, and shall apply with respect to claims asserted in writing
within one year thereof. The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not limit any
covenant or agreement of the parties hereto which, by its terms, contemplates
performance after the sale of the Brand Shares.
Section 4.2. Amendments. This Agreement (including the provisions of
this Section 4.2) may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of all of the parties affected by such amendment or
modification.

time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other
parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
warranties of the other parties hereto contained herein or in any document
delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements
of the other parties hereto or satisfaction of any of the conditions to such
party's obligations contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party
hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of a party
hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
such rights.
